Overview ¶
btcd is a full-node bitcoin implementation written in Go.
The default options are sane for most users. This means btcd will work 'out of the box' for most users. However, there are also a wide variety of flags that can be used to control it.
The following section provides a usage overview which enumerates the flags. An interesting point to note is that the long form of all of these options (except -C) can be specified in a configuration file that is automatically parsed when btcd starts up. By default, the configuration file is located at ~/.btcd/btcd.conf on POSIX-style operating systems and %LOCALAPPDATA%\btcd\btcd.conf on Windows. The -C (--configfile) flag, as shown below, can be used to override this location.
Usage:

one address is required if the generate option is set
--blockminsize= Mininum block size in bytes to be used when creating

Errors
var ErrClientQuit = errors.New("client quit")
ErrClientQuit describes the error where a client send is not processed due to the client having already been disconnected or dropped.
var ErrRescanReorg = btcjson.Error{ Code: btcjson.ErrDatabase.Code, Message: "Reorganize", }
ErrRescanReorg defines the error that is returned when an unrecoverable reorganize is detected during a rescan.
Functions ¶
func AppDataDir ¶
AppDataDir returns an operating system specific directory to be used for storing application data for an application.
The appName parameter is the name of the application the data directory is being requested for. This function will prepend a period to the appName for POSIX style operating systems since that is standard practice. An empty appName or one with a single dot is treated as requesting the current directory so only "." will be returned. Further, the first character of appName will be made lowercase for POSIX style operating systems and uppercase for Mac and Windows since that is standard practice.
The roaming parameter only applies to Windows where it specifies the roaming application data profile (%APPDATA%) should be used instead of the local one (%LOCALAPPDATA%) that is used by default.
Example results:
dir := AppDataDir("myapp", false)
POSIX (Linux/BSD): ~/.myapp
Mac OS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Myapp
Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Myapp
Plan 9: $home/myapp
func DirBlockLocatorFromHash ¶
func DirBlockLocatorFromHash(hash *wire.ShaHash) blockchain.BlockLocator
DirBlockLocatorFromHash returns a block locator for the passed block hash. See BlockLocator for details on the algotirhm used to create a block locator.
In addition to the general algorithm referenced above, there are a couple of special cases which are handled:
- If the genesis hash is passed, there are no previous hashes to add and therefore the block locator will only consist of the genesis hash
- If the passed hash is not currently known, the block locator will only consist of the passed hash
func LatestDirBlockLocator ¶
func LatestDirBlockLocator() (blockchain.BlockLocator, error)
LatestDirBlockLocator returns a block locator for the latest known tip of the main (best) chain.
func NewTLSCertPair ¶
func NewTLSCertPair(organization string, validUntil time.Time, extraHosts []string) (cert, key []byte, err error)
NewTLSCertPair returns a new PEM-encoded x.509 certificate pair based on a 521-bit ECDSA private key. The machine's local interface addresses and all variants of IPv4 and IPv6 localhost are included as valid IP addresses.
func Start_btcd ¶
func Start_btcd( ldb database.Db, inMsgQ chan wire.FtmInternalMsg, outMsgQ chan wire.FtmInternalMsg, inCtlMsgQ chan wire.FtmInternalMsg, outCtlMsgQ chan wire.FtmInternalMsg, user, pass string, clientMode bool)
Types ¶
type MruInventoryMap ¶
type MruInventoryMap struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
MruInventoryMap provides a map that is limited to a maximum number of items with eviction for the oldest entry when the limit is exceeded.
func NewMruInventoryMap ¶
func NewMruInventoryMap(limit uint) *MruInventoryMap
NewMruInventoryMap returns a new inventory map that is limited to the number of entries specified by limit. When the number of entries exceeds the limit, the oldest (least recently used) entry will be removed to make room for the new entry.
func (*MruInventoryMap) Add ¶
func (m *MruInventoryMap) Add(iv *wire.InvVect)
Add adds the passed inventory to the map and handles eviction of the oldest item if adding the new item would exceed the max limit.
func (*MruInventoryMap) Delete ¶
func (m *MruInventoryMap) Delete(iv *wire.InvVect)
Delete deletes the passed inventory item from the map (if it exists).
func (*MruInventoryMap) Exists ¶
func (m *MruInventoryMap) Exists(iv *wire.InvVect) bool
Exists returns whether or not the passed inventory item is in the map.
func (MruInventoryMap) String ¶
func (m MruInventoryMap) String() string
String returns the map as a human-readable string.
type NAT ¶
type NAT interface {
// Get the external address from outside the NAT.
GetExternalAddress() (addr net.IP, err error)
// Add a port mapping for protocol ("udp" or "tcp") from externalport to
// internal port with description lasting for timeout.
AddPortMapping(protocol string, externalPort, internalPort int, description string, timeout int) (mappedExternalPort int, err error)
// Remove a previously added port mapping from externalport to
// internal port.
DeletePortMapping(protocol string, externalPort, internalPort int) (err error)
}
NAT is an interface representing a NAT traversal options for example UPNP or NAT-PMP. It provides methods to query and manipulate this traversal to allow access to services.
